EXTENSION SETTEE-TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,692, dated July 6,1880.

Application filed January 14, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l. MORGAN Gossnrr, of Russellville, in the county ofBrown and State of Ohio, have invented a new Improvement in ExtensionSettee-Tables, of which the following is a specification.

Figure l is a side elevation of the table partially extended. Fig. 2 isa side elevation of the table with the top shown back. Fig. 3 is asectional end elevation on line a0 00, Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. a

The object of this invention is to provide an extension-table which canbe adjusted to be used as a settee.

The invention consists of a table having stationary legs and a movableleg and a pivoted extension-top that can be horizontally or verticallyadjusted, as may be desired, by a novel arrangementof devices, whilebetween the legs seats are fixed or arranged.

In the drawings, A A represent the two stationary pairs of legs of thetable, and B the movable leg. 0 represents that part of the top of thetable which is pivoted on the two stationary pair of legs, and Drepresents the extension part of the top pivoted to the leg B.

Secured to the under side of the part 0 of the top are'the triangularbraces E E, that extend downward on the inside of A A, respectively, andare pivoted to the said legs by the pivots a a. Also, extending downwardfrom the part 0 of the table-top, is a semicircular brace, F, which ispivoted to the outside of the leg A by one of the pivots a. A similarsemicircular brace, Gr, extends downward from the extension part D ofthe table-top, and is pivoted to the leg B by the pivot 11.

Secured longitudinally on the under side of the top 0, and near eitheredge thereof, are the strips 0 c, and sliding on the inside of thesestrips are the extension grooved strips d d, which strips extend throughmortises in the braces E E and F G and the block M, and draw out withthe said leg B, top D, and brace Gr, as shown in Fig. 1, said strips cl(1 having upon them heads f f, by which they are drawn out when theyengage with the brace G, and they are pushed back again by means of thestops g, that are fixed on the under side of the top D, as shown in Fig.2, and when the extension part D is closed up against the part 0 it isheld in place by the pins h and the book i, which en gage,respectively,in the sockets 7c and the staple lof the top 0 and leg B.

When the top of the table is in a horizontal position it is securedtherein by the pin m, which enters through the brace F into the socket nin the leg A, said pin being actuated by the spring H, which is pivotedon the pivot a, and is controlled by the rod I, which is attached to theunder side of the table-top by the staple 0. When this pin m iswithdrawn, by pulling upon the rod I the table-top may be turnedvertically, as shown in Fig. 2, so as to form a back for the seat K,which is fixed between the pairs of legs A A.

The legs of this table are grooved, as shown at 19, so that the lowerlongitudinal strips, d, on the under side of the table-top shall rest inthe said grooves, and thereby help support the said top in its verticalposition.

The semicircular tops of the pairs of legs A A, extending above the seatK, serve as arms at the ends of the said seat.

When in a vertical position the table-top may be extended as readily aswhen in a horizontal position, and in such case the movable seat L maybe laid across from the cross-bar of the leg B to the cross-bar of theleg A, as shown in Fig. l, and thus increase the length of the settee.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

In an extension settee-talole, the combination of the top part, 0,having triangular braces E F, pivoted to stationary legs A A, the partD, having brace G, pivoted to movable leg B, the slotted extensionstrips 41, extending through mortises of the braces, and block M, havingheads f and provided with stops g, as shown and described.
